How I heard about Network Democracy:

I heard about this from the LAUSD home page science link

My experience in this area:

I'm researching internet access for our elementary school. I am the library chair and we want to install internet access in the library. I specialize in English as a Secend Language and I'm interested in how access to the internet can be used in the elementary school environment to promote English language development.

What I hope to learn:

I want to receive information about the use of video conferencing in education. I hope to find funding sources for implementation of internet access for our school.

I have a B.A. in Mass communications from UCSB and I did my post graduate work in Radio and Television at San Diego State University. I interned at ABC for one season before becoming a teacher.
